Happy Birthday, Jordan

Well, this past weekend my oldest son turned 18.It seems as though it wasn't too long ago that I was tossing him over my head and he was laughing with uncontrollable joy.For his birthday, I was going to make breakfast. However, he had to get to basketball practice first thing in the morning. Therefore, I told him I would have breakfast ready when he got home.Knowing how he likes pancakes, I decided to make him one. Yes, you heard me correctly, I made him ONE.

One GIANT PANCAKE!!!

I actually made one for myself, before he got home, in order to make sure they would come out OK. The toughest part was flipping it in the pan. It actually took two spatulas, which meant that I had little control over the pan.The pancake, which was a banana pancake, by the way, was too much for me. I tried to choke it down, but had to stop. Jordan didn't have any problem with it.

This is not an image of him nearly barfing. He was trying to imitate the face he made nearly 17 years prior.Following are a few photos I took of him that afternoon.

About Me

I’m originally from East Northport, Long Island, and became interested in photography at an early age. I had plans to pursue photography after high school; however, certain events took me on other journeys.
I've had a number of experiences; employment, education, religious, family, friends…some wonderful and some not so.
In recent years, I had the opportunity to get back in to photography and have found it to be extremely therapeutic and rewarding. I loved (and still do love) looking at all the photos my parents have in their home; boxes of them. They are images of moments and memories that can stir the heart and evoke emotions. I enjoy being able to capture such moments for my own family, friends and potential clients.
I’m not a terribly eloquent man; however, I thought I would attempt to share some of my world, with others, through the combination of my photos and the narratives I attach to them. This blog is not intended to be a forum for deep discussion, but perhaps it will serve to prompt people to ask questions in other venues.
Please feel free to send me feedback, even if I don’t post all of the comments.
Blessings to all who take the time to visit my world.
